Abstract
Ever more refined and statistically powerful genomewide association studies continue to advance our understanding of the relationship between genetic variations and stroke risk. A study involving >7000 patients with Mendelian randomization (MR)-confirmed lacunar stroke found 5 loci that were associated with the lacunar stroke phenotype and an additional 7 associated loci in a multi-trait analysis including cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH).1 Two loci contained genes causing monogenic disorders (COL42A and HTRA1).
